About this ebook

British actor and comedian Hugh Laurie's first book is a spot-on spy spoof about hapless ex-soldier Thomas Lang, who is drawn unwittingly and unwillingly into the center of a dangerous James Bond–like plot of international terrorists, arms dealing, high-tech weapons, and CIA spooks. You may recall having seen Laurie in the English television series Jeeves and Wooster; Laurie played Bertie Wooster, the clutzy hero of the P.G. Wodehouse comic novels that originated those characters. The lineage from Wodehouse's Wooster to Laurie's Lang is clear, and, if you like Wodehouse, you'll probably love The Gun Seller.

Suspenseful and hilarious! Hugh Laurie desperately needs to write another book. Or rather I desperately need him to

It's an amazingly complex and interesting book! I was captivated from the start! I highly recommend this book!

Awesome. Hugh Laurie is a truly gifted man!!
